Night fell.
Xia Xue walked to the entrance of the main hall, intending to close the door.
"Wait!" Luqiao called her to stop, frowned and said, "Young Master hasn't come back yet!"
"But..." Xia Xue pointed outside. It's already this hour, and the palace gates are probably closed.
"Close it!" Dongfang Jing came out from the side hall and coughed lightly, "The deeper the dew is, the heavier it is, I'm catching a cold."
"But Miss!" Lu Qiao hesitated to speak.
According to the rules in the palace, whenever His Majesty bestows a marriage, the husband and wife must live together for the first three nights. If someone sees them sleeping in a separate room, it will be disobedience and a serious crime of beheading! As early as two years ago, His Majesty recruited a son-in-law for the eldest princess. The son-in-law despised the eldest princess for being ugly, and slept in the concubine's room on the third day of the wedding. He was beheaded for public display!
Dongfang Jing ignored it and went straight back to the house.
Lu Qiao chased after her all the way, frowned and asked, "Miss, it's probably unreasonable for you to lock my uncle out!"
"He won't be back tonight." Dongfang Jing said firmly.
"Not coming back? Where is uncle going?" Lu Qiao wrung her fingers, "It's only the first day of the wedding, so I can't just... just go to the flower bar!"
Dongfang Jing rolled her eyes, "You have time to figure it out, why don't you find out where Dongmei has gone, I don't want this Yuhua Terrace to raise another thief—"
Luqiao suddenly came back to her senses, only to realize that she hadn't seen Dongmei all day.
"Don't tell me, the servants have forgotten! Let Dongmei go out of the palace with the father-in-law to buy some small things today, and I haven't seen her come back—"
Dongfang Jing clenched the veil in her hand, "Ruo Dongmei is really the response sent by Concubine Rong, I'm afraid that the news of our quarrel between husband and wife has already spread to Jinxiu Palace."
Lu Qiao's eyes widened in fright, "That's a serious crime to be beheaded! Miss, what should we do now? Why don't the servants go out of the palace to find my uncle!"
"No, you are a little maid. You can only leave the palace with my token from Yuhuatai. Concubine Rong is very scheming, and she has probably already greeted the guards at the gate of the palace, and will hold you back at that time... Even if you are lucky enough to get away They, Prince Gong may not obediently stay in Prince Gong's mansion." Dongfang Jing shook her head.
"Then what should we do?!" Luqiao was terrified.
"No hurry." Dongfang Jing's eyes were cold, "If you want to convict Prince Gong and Princess Gong, it must be His Majesty himself. Concubine Rong is still under ground, and the chance of seeing Your Majesty is very small, unless..."
"Unless what?" Luqiao covered her mouth.
Dongfang Jing's eyes twitched, "Unless His Majesty turns over her brand tonight!"
After hearing this, Luqiao was overjoyed, "Thank God! Your Majesty has turned over the sign today, it is the Qi Concubine of Zizhuxuan! The servant girl passed by the Imperial Garden today, and happened to hear the concubines chatting, saying that it was the Qi Concubine after three months. It can be regarded as being turned over once!"
"Really?" Dongfang Jing curled her lips into a smile, and the smile in her eyes deepened, and then she leaned into Luqiao's ear and said something.
After Lu Qiao heard this, her face became even more terrified, "Master! This... This is something that offends Longyan, I dare not!"
"It's okay, I will take responsibility for what happened." Dongfang Jing comforted her.
"Okay! Although I don't know why I did this, but I believe in Miss! Even if I risk my life, I will help Miss to complete this matter!"
Luqiao has been loyal to her master for many years, after thinking twice, she still agreed!
